Brandon grew up in the forested foothills of Northern BC. At nineteen, he left home and joined the Canadian Army. He served for seven years and deployed to Afghanistan twice. 

After the army, Brandon attended MacEwan University, earning a degree in Business Management. While at MacEwan, he filled his electives with English and creative writing courses and developed a passion for writing fiction.

​

Brandon's short stories have appeared in The New Quarterly, The Antigonish Review, Shift, Literally Stories, NōD Magazine, and others.​ His work in progress, Mysteries of Artemis and Others, is a collection of linked short stories about Canadian soldiers in the Afghanistan War. The collection focuses on the impact of battle on troops and their loved ones and evokes Brandon’s own experiences to examine themes of combat, trauma, relationships, grief, and military culture.

Brandon is the Executive Editor of MoonLit Getaway, a Canadian non-profit, volunteer-run literary journal. He works as an Emergency Management Consultant in Edmonton, where he lives with his wife and son.
